Aboriginal art is meant to be viewed from above. From this perspective, individuals shaped as U’s gather around the central tree, a representation of the love of God, referencing the story of Lehi’s dream in the Book of Mormon. Some individuals walk to the tree while hanging tightly onto rods of iron. Others leave the pathway, becoming lost as they move away from the tree. Still others gather around circular buildings, not paying attention to the central tree.
“All living beings are interconnected.”
